From owner-krisgigs@swiftmail.com Tue Jan 5 19:21:57 1999 Date: Tue, 5 Jan 1999 14:21:54 -0500 (EST) To: krisgigs@swiftmail.com Subject: gigging like it's 1999 .well friends & relations, it seems as if it's now 1999 which, although it may be a little bit unsettling what with the apocalypse looming & all, you have to admit is a really fun number to say or type. I hope your holidays went well & everyone's recovering nicely. As for me, my life is just a bit larger now that I am the proud owner of some truly excellent socks and a substantial portion of the world's remaining pistachio nut reserves. .here are your options if you feel like coming out to see me play this month. these should all be really fun shows with lots of great friends of mine; however, if you don't live in the metro-boston area and you're not into road trips, this will not be your month. but never fear: I'm using january to gather my strength for some heavyduty travelling in the months to come! .my apologies to anyone who couldn't find copies of appetite during their xmas shopping frenzy: I think most if not all of the record stores which had it ran out early. they should be all stocked up within a week or 2; in the meantime you can always order from me (info at the end of this message) or through www.folkweb.com. also if you haven't checked out the Respond cd yet, I highly highly recommend that you do. they're available at my shows, or at 1-800-694-5354, or order it directly at www.signature-sounds.com. .now that the dust has settled, I can look back and say that 1998 was truly an amazing year for me; recording & releasing my first cd, seeing the respond project through its release, and buckets of opportunities to play for you kickass people! I don't know how to tell you how much your support keeps me going. I'd give you all a big smooch except most of you live far away and I don't think I have that kind of lip stamina. but truly, many thanks to all of you and have an extremely rockin year. kris delmhorst: gigging like it's 1999 wed 1/6. club passim. harvard square, cambridge this will be another chance to celebrate the RESPOND benefit cd with a whole pack of the fabulous ladies involved.

BUT if you know of any cool, swingin, music listenin types of folks down there in the big apple who just might be looking for some quality entertainment on saturday, PLEASE OH PLEASE tell them about this show!! save planet kris from destruction!

You'll be getting the full february story soon but these are a few really great shows that have come up with frighteningly little notice; if you can, spread the word to your friends & relations. By the way, thanks to all of you who answered the s.o.s. about the living room show; it turned out to be a packed & awesome night thanks to you guys! Maybe we can recreate that for these..... last-minute upcoming kris delmhorst shows ------------- thursday 1/28 the lizard lounge ------------- This will be a mighty rockin night and also my first time playing at this way hip cambridge joint, so I'm hoping for mobs of people to play to. The show starts at 9; the other folks playing are mark erelli, erin mckeown, and pamela means, who really all are great. Having a crowd there will help persuade them to have me back again so come make some noise! Mass ave, outside harvard square (on the porter square side), under the cambridge common restaurant. $5 or so. ------------- wednesday 2/3 johnny d's ------------- This is another night that I couldn't possibly recommend more highly. another in the series of shows celebrating the respond cd. The only officially listed performers are myself and lori mckenna, who if you haven't heard, you are doing yourself wrong. That alone would be a night I'd be psyched about but in addition there will be a few super-secret guest appearances, one of whom I'm allowed to let slip (jennifer kimball) (oops) and the others I'm not but please just trust me, you really really don't want to miss this! Davis square somerville, holland st (across from somerville theatre), 8:30 pm, probably $6 or $7. (617) 776-2004 ------------ saturday 2/6 the iron horse ------------ Well noho'ers, I need your help to rally the troops for this one! I'll have the extreme pleasure of opening for my friend jennifer kimball, who just makes incredibly beautiful music, at this most righteous club. So righteous in fact, that I really need to make a good impression by bringing out a crowd, if I ever hope to play there again. This is the first time that I've been actually booked by the actual booking guy (my one time there, catie curtis got me in) so it counts for a lot. So rustle up some friends and come on down! EARLY SHOW 7:00!!!!
